Scott was born on May 17, 1963, to Amos and Marian Albright. Scott attended Grundy Center High School, graduating with the class of 1981 where he excelled in golf and baseball.   Scott enjoyed life to its fullest, loved his large friend circle, family, and had a passion for the outdoors.

Scott became a father to his first child, a son in 1985. He married Debra Werkman on March 25, 1989, and through this marriage welcomed one daughter. They later divorced. Scott met Toni Hoeppner in 2009 and remained together until his death. He held many jobs throughout the years but most recently worked for Bertch Cabinetry, where he remained a loyal employee until circumstances no longer permitted him to work. Beyond his work, he was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan, hunter, fisherman, golfer and was well-known among his friends. His fish fry gatherings were a testament to his love of fishing and the outdoors. Scott played catcher in the slow-pitch softball league in Holland, Iowa for many years. He also held the record for the youngest hole-in-one at Town and Country Golf Course in Grundy Center, Iowa at the young age of 14.
